The Expat Kitchen is a practical cookbook for a range of culinary expertise, from the novice to the knowledgeable cook, from the career woman/man with little time to spare for food preparation, to the skilled and consummate cook who will happily slave over a hot stove for hours preparing the perfect meal for friends and family, to the simple housewife looking to perk up the appetite of picky eaters in the family.

Above all, it reflects and offers a cosmopolitan view of Filipino food and the Filipino palate, consistent with the changing tastes and lifestyles of today’s widely-traveled and well-informed Filipino.
